Dallas’ Mecca closing its doors again, this time with no particular place to go

After 76 years, the Mecca may be dishing up its last chicken-fried steak.

Better make a run for that last cinnamon roll: Two years after leaving its decades-old Harry Hines location in Northwest Dallas, the Mecca restaurant — “waking up Dallas since 1938″ — is shutting its doors again.

Unlike last time, when it temporarily closed up shop to relocate to Skillman and Live Oak in Lakewood, the Mecca — as reported Thursday by culturemap Dallas, has no definite place to land, though owner Mike Sealy hopes to find a new location nearby. For now, though, you’ve got until 5 pm Sunday to enjoy one last stack of fluffy pancakes or a block of homey meatloaf.

Story to come in Saturday’s Dallas Morning News.
